Quitting Advise needed please

[nsd_user663_48308]

Hi all,

I have decided that I can no longer justify spending £150ish pound a month on smoking and so I have decided to quit.

My quit date is officially tomorrow.

I wondered if anybody has some tips that I can use to help me along the way?

Thank you for any help given xx

Hey. Well done on deciding to quit. I will be joining you very soon. Personally I have joined the stop smoking clinic in Boots Chemist. They give you a supply of NRT products and you have to check in with them every week to get the next supply. But from reading this forum every wuit is different so ensure that you are using a method that you are happy with.

Good luck and hopefully we will both be joining the ranks non-smokers.

Well done to you both for making the best decision of your lives

At the beginning take it hour by hour, day by day, week by week and month by month. Ride the waves and take the ups with the downs. Eventually there are fewer and fewer downs compared to ups.

I have had a rant earlier, don't take much notice, this is what's great about this forum, you can just say what you feel and there is always support for you.

Good luck - onwards and upwards xx

Hi Cheryl -

Well done for making the best decision you will ever make!

Like others have said - it's one step at a time. Tomorrow morning when you wake up, just say to yourself 'today - I am not going to smoke'. Or even - for this one hour - I will not smoke. And say that each day. Don't think too much about the future - that will take care of itself. Today is what you need to focus on.

There will be days when it is easy - and days when you feel you would literally kill for cigarette - but they DO pass! And it gets easier - it really, really does.

Good luck and keep onto this forum - I find it such a help even now!

I also joined the programme with the Chemist, you have to blow into this machine every week to measure your carbon monoxide so he will know if you have had a smoke. I am now going for 4 months quit and have been weaned off everything now, after smoking for 50 years, best of luck
